It'll be an interesting challenge for our attack, bowling to an ATG ODI batting lineup on the pitches they most excel on. I'd rather we bowled first, I think knowing how many you need is a big advantage on these pitches and the initial residual enthusiasm and self-belief from the England game will be more of an asset in the field than with the bat.

Not especially looking forward to seeing us try to play Harbhajan.

Well, on this wicket, I would bowl first too tbh, regardless of which team I'm on.

We'll see, I don't think Ireland will lose it 'convincingly' for what it's worth. If the group goes down to the wire, it may come down to net run rate (anyone know the order of the tie breakers?), so maybe Ireland may want to think about that too.
